What You'll Be Doing
Lead six or more test-chip PCB designs per year from requirements and architecture through physical layout, verification, and delivery
Define PCB requirements early with customers and internal teams, including ball-map planning, routing channel assessment, and layer stackup decisions optimized for signal integrity and power integrity
Perform hands-on PCB layout and physical design using industry-standard tools
Extract electrical models from your PCB designs, validate model accuracy, and run SI/PI analysis to guide design decisions and catch problems before fabrication
Guide customers through PCB architecture evaluations and implementation tradeoffs for Synopsys IP integration
Coordinate design schedules, technical reviews, and deliverables across internal engineering teams, customers, and external manufacturing partners
Provide regular project updates to management covering progress, risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans
The Impact You Will Have
Your PCB designs will enable Synopsys customers to validate and integrate high-performance IP (like PCIe8, E224, DDR6, HBM4 / 5 or UCIe3) in real silicon, directly affecting product timelines and success
The models you extract and the SI/PI analysis you perform will catch electrical issues early, reducing costly respins and schedule delays
Your technical leadership on cross-functional projects will set the standard for PCB design quality and execution across the business unit
The architecture guidance you provide to customers will help them make better tradeoff decisions and adopt Synopsys IP with confidence
Your ability to manage multiple concurrent designs will directly improve team throughput and predictability
The design standards and best practices you establish will raise the bar for signal integrity and power integrity performance across the portfolio
Your coordination across global teams will ensure smoother handoffs, fewer surprises, and higher-quality outcomes
What You'll Need
10+ years of hands-on experience in high-speed PCB design and layout, electrical modeling, or signal integrity and power integrity analysis
Advanced working knowledge of circuit theory and transmission line theory, and the ability to apply it to real PCB design and analysis decisions
Demonstrated experience building, validating, and interpreting 3D electromagnetic models using Ansys HFSS or equivalent tools, and using those results to drive design choices
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to customers, partners, and cross-functional teams
Working proficiency in Windows and Linux environments for engineering design and analysis workflows
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent field
Experience leading multiple concurrent PCB projects and managing schedules, reviews, and deliverables is a strong plus
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will work with a highly skilled and supportive global team focused on ensuring Synopsys IP test-chip packages meet electrical and physical performance requirements. Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.
Rewards and Benefits
We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
